Poem of the week<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Folk Who Live in Backward Town<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Folk Who Live in Backward Town <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are inside out and upside down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They wear their hats inside their heads<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And go to sleep beneath their beds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They only eat the apple peeling<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And take their walks across their ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was Happening?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We focused on letter R<\/strong> for this whole past week. We made our rainbow out of construction papers that represents our letter of the week, the letter R<\/strong><\/strong>. We also made our letter R<\/strong><\/strong> mini-books<\/strong>. We picked our favorite items that start with the letter R<\/strong><\/strong> and glued them on a poster that is placed outside our classroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, we started a new core word “stop”<\/strong>. For that purpose, we started on our book, “Stop”, said the cop”<\/strong>. Each one of the explorers now has a copy of this book to read with the family at home. Since it is Spring, therefore, for this week, we read “Don’t Push the Button! An Easter Surprise<\/strong>” book, by “Bill Cotter”<\/strong>. Our reading comprehension question was, “What book did we read?”<\/strong>. We also explored “Butch The Outdoor Cat” <\/strong>book, written by “Diane DeFord<\/strong>” and illustrated by “Pam Posey<\/strong>“, and we answered some comprehension questions about this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In math, we started “Opposite<\/strong>” concept. We played with different colors of die and cones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In social studies, we talked about different holidays people celebrate in the United States and around the world, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The explorers visited Music, Art, and Gym, and they had such a great and fun time during their activities with each other and with the staff, as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most excited event we had this week was having the Exotic Zoo assembly. We had the chance to see such amazing and beautiful animals such as the owl, a cub, a kangaroo, a leopard, a turtle, and an alligator. Some of us were so happy to touch the animals, while some of us were very scared!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
